I have today successfully completed the flashing of GX10 with a GX10i flash.Phone working perfectly in every way.Did'nt check box to erase the user data, as its a customers phone, thus it saved all the ringtones and pictures. Yo have to use serial lead not USB or modified Panasonic lead with Uni-box.

For successful flashing I charged the battery fully, using a spare GX10. I then placed battery in phone, connected leads to PC, opened flasher program.I used GX10-13 flasher not GX10 N as I was flashing a GX10E.Next was to load the flash file GX10i.mot and click flash.Keep power button pressed in until you see Flash loader 1.07 on screen of your phone(main LCD) and let go of the power button.The display of the GX10 will now go to Erase Program mode with a series of ####### along the top.Once its erased the flash all the # will disappear, then will force the phone into Write mode.The program on your PC will say Writing Program or similar, with your mobile saying Writing...

The progress bar will slowly increase until its maximum.Once there do not disconnect your phone.Your LCD will say COMPLETE! but do not remove the leads or press power button until your flasher program confirms it has finished calculating the checksum! Once it has done this, your mobile will power off automatically. Its then safe to remove your leads, I removed the battery for 10 seconds just to be sure it was totally off!
Put battery back on then press Power on button for 5-10 seconds.Your phone will be a little slower to start, and your language will be in spanish.Do not worry, connect your phone back up to your lead, then use Vilani 3.1 for unlocking.Press connect, which should now say your phone is a GX10i.Select Liberar GX10N then click applicar or apply.Your phone will start to unlock.I reset the security code afterwards, which changes it back to 0000.

Once complete and OK! disconnect your phone, put in a non Voda sim, power up and the phone should be on, but in spanish.Press M button, using UP/DOWN arrows select settings, then find Language, its easy enough to spot. Choose automatic then all is done!

Enjoy!

This is a document of my experience which I have shared with you.If followed closely, you will not go wrong. This was done using a DEAD GX10 E so might be different if using another version of this phone.
I am using Windows XP, using COM1 on default settings.

jac,

a question as you seem to be the main man with the gx10.

if you flash a gx10 to a gx10i firmware,

will that mean that the phome manager program for the gx10i will work on this phone ?

i ask because i desperately want to get some free pics and tones on my gx10 :))

I am not 100% sure it will work. The GX10i flashes are used as replacement GX10 flashes solely because Vodafone have yet to release GX10 flashes.
All I can say is the GX10 discards all unused info from the flash, so it might not support this function.
If you search the Sharp forum here, Crux has done a lot of tinkering with the file transfer for GX10. He has posted a few threads about it too.
